Nice handover from Breakast to NC with that TVC shot wrapped on the Barcos.

The weather team also just did their little farewell at the end of the 8am hour.


It was nice - beginning to feel this will happen now.

Interesting morning so far, A phone interrupting Simon interviewing, and now the business reporter finding that beads necklace and clip mics don't mix. Embarassed

also how does BBC make it clear to presenters working on both WN and NC that the money came from either licence fee or from the commercially-funded BBC Global News, Ltd?


That's a good question. I don't know what actually goes on but my best guess is that arrangements might be in place so that BBC's domestic operations might technically be customers of BBC Worldwide (BBC's commercial arm). If that is what goes on, BBC's domestic services pays (using licence fee money) BBC Worldwide to use the resources of the latter. In this case, I would think staff who are stationed abroad are on the latter's payroll.


I'd have thought it's the other way round - the company that owns BBC World News pays BBC News. They are effectively a production company producing the channel to that budget.

Any resource that costs money comes from the budgets of whoever's using it, with joint costs shared

There's no way that Worldwide employ reporters or foreign news staff.

Presumably for the same reason ITV, C4 AND SKY don't Rolling Eyes Does it have to be spelled out Confused

Sorry, you've lost me there. BBC employees are paid by the license payer - ie all of us. So are, in effect, civil servants. ITV, C4 and Sky employees are quite different.

No they're not, they still do the same job and are competing for the same positions. The BBC doesn't operate in a bubble when it comes to market forces.

I suspect the revealing of BBC News presenters salaries would have an interesting knock on effect on it's rivals and a bit of a land grab of BBC presenters who are paid less than others going to Sky to replace those who they suddenly realise are being paid too much!

Breakfast handover to TVC for the final time.


I'll get the end of TVC up as well as the One in HD on my YouTube soon after.

I've just been for a wander around the News Centre, which is looking rather sad and lonely - only a couple of dozen staff left in the newsroom. While I was there, a director took down the 'On Air' light from above N6's gallery door - he said he was going to get folk to autograph it, and bring it down to BH as a souvenir of TVC.


So after Monday morning, the rest of the staff move over as well and all lights off permantly in news centre?
There's one or two bits left - School Report will come from TC7 on Thursday, and SCAR (News's control room) will be staffed for the rest of the week. The News Centre will also be kept 'warm' for three months, just in case of any major problems at BH. Other non-news departments haven't quite moved out yet.

Would the BBC auction off things like the news desks, or the frosted glass panels from the sets? Should the more obsessive fans keep an eye on the skips outside the news centre at TVC?
generally building closes do result in surplus things being auctioned off - you can probably expect job lots of VHS machines, 4:3 CRT tellies, Studer ¼" tape decks, and maybe an occasional vision mixer. If Worzel's lucky, he might be able to bid for some Barco screens!
I'm not so sure about bits of set, though - as another poster said, it's likely they'll end up with other BBC regions.

Given that other BBC News services have moved to BH in recent months, what are the chances that a guided tour will be given to domestic audiences?
I think you can probably bank on that happening.

They stuck with announcing the 9pm hour as "the nine o'clock news" for a good couple of years after it left BBC1. Basic fig-leaf to those who complained about the loss of the BBC1 bulletin...

Esther Rantzen comes across as a bit bonkers in that interview. They seemed to stop asking her questions after a while, just letting her ramble on and on!

Or a renaming of something that never went away?
